I made soup for dinner last night and we had leftovers for lunch today. Avery (3 years old) was playing instead of eating, so I told her to eat up because her soup had all healthy stuff in it. Kadyn (five years old) said, "Nu-uh, Mama, you put CHOCOLATE BEANS in this soup!" They were kidney beans! No wonder she had been eating it so quickly, though!

Cute! If only they actually TASTED like chocolate though! :-D

Calvin and Hobbs is one of my favorite cartoons. He only eats when his mother tells him it's something gross. "That's not rice. It's tiny maggots!" So, chocolate beans sound pretty good!

Very cute

How cute! Do you write down things your kids say so you will be able to look back some day? I never did and now can't remember!

That's so cute!

Did Avery quickly eat her soup after that?

Funny you say that. I was watching I Lost It the other night (dvr) and the lady makes a chocolate dessert using beans in the "cake" part of it.

PS - I won't eat lima beans because they look like embryos.

Check out our dessert recipes here on the forum. You'll find many delicious desserts made with beans.

Kara maybe you should serve the beanie brownies and say now these do have "chocolate" beans. LOL
